Chapter 8: A Blast from the Past!
"Wait can someone please tell me what's going on?" Jeremy said confusedly as Aelita, and XANuel were grinning at each. "First…." XANuel slapped Jeremy, "That electricity hurt man" XANuel complained. Jeremy rubbed his face a little. "Well should we both tell him?" XANuel asked Aelita, "Sounds good to me" She smirked. "WHAT? IS? GOING?..." Jeremy went on as Aelita kissed him on the cheek, "Here's what happened my nerdy hero" Aelita joked, Jeremy blushed as all three of the sat down. "So here's the story" XANuel started…."It was a few days after we had thought we defeated XANA or you" She looked at XANuel, ((A few weeks after the episode "Echoes")), "I told Odd that I'd help him look for Kiwi's favorite leech, but he'd had left it back at the factory". Aelita walked out of Ms. Hertz class and because she had a free period, it was the perfect time to look for Kiwi's leach. She walked off campus and headed for the factory. She took the sewer route and popped out of the manhole on the bridge, and walked her way towards the place. "Man this place brings back memories" She said. "Let's hope this elevator still works" She chucked, as the elevator took her down to the supercomputer she started to look around for the leach. "Now where can that thing be" She questioned. After a few minutes of searching something popped up on the computer. She ran over to it to see what was up. "What the…" She began as the supercomputer pulled up a scanner, "What's going on!" She hurried to the scanners as quickly as possible. As she entered the room a whole punch of smoke came out of one of the scanners. It look like a figure was in one of them. "Hello, is there anyone there…..DAD!" She asked. A dark figure collapsed in the scanner, he could barely stand up. Before Aelita could react the scanners started sparking and freaking out. Aelita rushed to save the boy and grasped him and took him with her up the elevator with her. "Come on, we got to get out of here" She said. The elevator took them up to the entrance to the factory. They ran out in a hurry. She put him against the bars around the bridge. "Are you okay?" She asked, He just moaned, "Let's get you back to my room" She pick him up and carried him back too Kadic. She made it back to her dorm and drop him on her bed. "This is what happens when I help Odd." She joked. The boy started to wake up after a few hours. "Where am I?" He asked, "In my room, my name is…." She went, "AELITA" He muttered as his eyes awoke on her face. "Wait you know my NO….." She stooped at the sight of what his eyes looked like. "No, no. NO, NO, NO NNOOO, IT CANT BE YOU" She yelled at the sight of XANA's symbol in his eyes. "Nice to see you remember me" He said, "How you are….How'd did you….What?" She Said too stunned to move. "That program your friend sent to kill me with…well it only worked temporally" He said, "I was in a state off death, but I started to feel stronger and powerful" he added. "I activated every tower on Lyoko and combined them, and with all that power, I formed myself a human body and made my way into your world" As he stood up stretching. "I must have activated the super calculator and computer with my Re-born" He continued. Aelita still in shock run's too her phone. "The battery's dead isn't it" He laughed, "What have you done?" She yelled, "I didn't do anything, you should learn when to charge your phone more." He said sarcastically. "I don't know why you're trying to get help, I mean I'm not going to hurt you" He continued. "What?" She Said surprised, "I have no reason too anymore I don't care for you!" He replied, "I'm done with world domination, It hard out here for a computer/human virus pimp Aelita" He continued. "I don't believe you" As she hit and slapped him. "Oww okay I know I deserve that, but I'm serious, I couldn't care less about you or being evil anymore, I'm sorry for all the things I've done too you and your friends and….especially…about your father!" He pleaded. "Look how about his if I help you with that nerdy friend of yours…." As she was about to punch him, she thought for a second…."What are you talking about?" She questioned him. "Let me make up for all the things I've done to you", "I know how much he cares you and I can tell the feeling is mutual" He continued. "And why should I trust you?" She yelled, "Have I given you a reason to not to trust me in the past 20 minutes" He muttered, "I haven't attack you, I have not try to hurt you, I have not given you any reason to attack me." "You're none of my concern anymore!" He scowled. She lowered her arm, and He gave her a smile. "Am I seriously thinking about teaming up with the enemy?" She questioned, "Ex-Enemy" He joked. He stuck his hand out in a friendly way and smiled. She groped his hand and squeezed it as hard as she could. "If you try anything and I do mean anything….." She warned him. "You know that's not hurting right" He laughed. "Shut up" As she jerked her hand away from him. "So what now?" As she gave him a look. "We need a plan" He said, "Oh yeah shouldn't you change your name or something" She asked. "Probably" He shrugged. They thought for a few minutes and then made XANA's new name. "XANuel!" Aelita yelled, "Perfect, Thank you!" He smirked. So Aelita and XANuel came up with a plan to give Jeremy a little push with Aelita. ((Back in the present)) Jeremy sat a little silent and confused. "I know this hard to take in" XANuel said. XANuel and Aelita explained more to him and what they have done.
